Company

hirify.global develops scientific and analytical instruments supporting life sciences, diagnostics, pharma, food safety, environmental, forensics, and advanced materials.

What you will do

• Design precision analog printed circuit assemblies, including high-voltage RF and DC amplifiers and power supplies for LC/MS instruments.
• Run circuit simulations, create schematics, and complete PCB layouts for new product introductions and sustaining engineering.
• Build, bring up, and verify prototypes and complete systems using laboratory test equipment.
• Lead design reviews and integrate electronics with system control and onboard diagnostics.
• Execute verification testing for instrument performance and regulatory compliance through manufacturing transfer.
• Prepare block diagrams, theory-of-operation documents, simulation results, and test reports while collaborating with multidisciplinary R&D, quality, software, manufacturing, and product-support teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering.
• 8+ years of experience designing precision analog circuits; PhD candidates graduating in 2026 with high-voltage RF/DC research are also encouraged to apply.
• Experience with analytical, scientific, medical-device, or other regulated precision instrumentation.
• Ability to own designs from investigation through prototype build, verification, and transfer to manufacturing.
• Experience with mixed-signal schematic capture and PCB layout using Siemens Xpedition, Mentor DX Designer, Altium, Cadence, or equivalent tools.
• Experience with LTspice or PSpice, low-level digital interfaces such as SPI, I²C, and UART, and hands-on laboratory verification.

Nice to have
